Time out 6/9/09
Hey guys, i know i've not been blogging, but i just want to tell you God's impressions on my heart during Time out.
I did my timeout at East Coast beach yesterday. And i really think it is something that everybody should try at one moment of your life. To sit still and listen to the crashing waves, the crickets and the vivid wind blowing through your ears. You're sitting silently for God to whisper into your heart.
I begin my time out with this short prayer
" Father, Impress upon my heart what is upon yours ."
Almost immediately, God reminded me of different things in my life that transformed me. Some Good, Some bad, but all of them was something that I've done in some moment of my life.
But, whatever i've done, whatever i've been through, i know, that God's heart aches for me, he hurts, he weeps, and he suffers.
Anyway, many things happened during that short time of TIME OUT, and looking back i can't really believe what happened. I won't go into exact details though.
But, i was meditating on one of Ryan's Quotes.
No man is a fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose
It is not foolish, to give up whatever that i consider treasure on this Earth, whatever that i've been pursuing in my life, to try to gain the little bit of God's grace because God's grace is something which we cannot lose, but yet something we can gain. Earthly things, things that i pursue, things that you pursue are things that we will never keep for long.
I was standing at the shore, and i was looking at the sea. It was then at that moment that the entire beach, is not enough to carry God's vastness. It is not enough to hold God's love for every person. No no, not enough. This beach may seem big, the sea may seem never ending, but that's how God's love is. It is never ending, it is big, it does not only seem big, but it is really big. That me, standing on the beach and from above just like a single dot will be able to be engulfed by the love of God. That that love that cannot be contained in the seas, in the enormous beach can be dwell upon a single dot.
Just a quote i want to share:
If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps life moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all. And so today I still have a dream.
do not lose hope in your walk with God. Because Hope gives you the vitality that keeps you moving, that keeps you walking. Hope gives you courage, courage to face up your sins, courage to follow God. When you feel down, it is this courage, that brings you up, that gives you strength to follow God. My dream, is to be with God.
What is yours?
